You mean your compressor is siezed solid?

The best (and by best I mean cheapest) place to get a compressor from would be a wrecker. Alternatively you could pull yours off and take it to someone who specialises in air conditioner components/auto electrics etc, they may be able to match it. Keep in mind that if they have to get one specifically for your car then be prepared to pay over $1000.

Where are you located? someone might know of a local shop that can help you out

If it were me I'd go to the wreckers, find one that spins nice, make sure its all still plugged in or capped and buy that one. There's no guarantee it will work is the only problem with that situation. All you can do is look for one that looks like it was working before the car was written off/wrecked - as in everything is still in the car and connected

Yes sorry compressor not condenser lol typo!!

I'm located in Sydney, I looked on rhdjapan and they want $1200 brand new, not interested in paying that.

I think there's a few skyline wreckers around I could probably try.

Thanks for the advice :)

      Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.

      City of Casey - This is obscene!

      My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )

      Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?

      Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!

      Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
